When to visit

The best time to visit Tiberias is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summers (June to August) can be extremely hot, while winters (December to February) can be cold and rainy. It is advisable to check the weather forecast before planning your trip.

Getting around

Tiberias is a relatively small city that can be easily explored on foot. However, there are also taxis, buses, and rental cars available for getting around. Taxis are a convenient option for short distances, while buses are a cost-effective way to travel to nearby towns and attractions. Rental cars provide flexibility for exploring the surrounding areas at your own pace.

Traveller tips

When visiting Tiberias, make sure to dress modestly when visiting religious sites. It is also recommended to carry a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated, especially during the hot summer months. Be prepared for some haggling when shopping at local markets. English is widely spoken in tourist areas, but learning a few basic Hebrew phrases can be helpful. Lastly, don't forget to try the local cuisine, which includes fresh seafood, falafel, and hummus.
